EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight takes us back in time to the enchanting beauty of Rievaulx Abbey. The image showcases the abbey, a true medieval masterpiece, nestled amidst the serene and idyllic North Yorkshire countryside. Standing tall and proud, its ancient stones tell tales of centuries gone by. In the foreground, a charming cottage adds a touch of rustic charm to the scene. Its thatched roof and quaint architecture perfectly complement the timeless allure of Rievaulx Abbey. As we gaze further into the photograph, our eyes are drawn towards a majestic wooded hillside that frames this historical gem. The Cistercian monastery exudes an aura of tranquility as it peacefully coexists with nature's bounty. The rural landscape surrounding it is nothing short of picturesque - rolling hills stretch out as far as the eye can see while dense woods provide shelter for wildlife and create an atmosphere of mystery. Marjory L Wight has skillfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also a feeling - one that transports us to another era where life moved at a slower pace and spirituality intertwined seamlessly with nature's grandeur. This print from Historic England serves as both an homage to architectural brilliance and an invitation to immerse ourselves in history's embrace. It reminds us how even today, amidst bustling modernity, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered – places like Rievaulx Abbey that hold secrets untold within their ancient walls.
